Customer Reviews

Buy this if you have Narrative Discourse

Where this book may indeed be useless without Narrative Discourse, Narrative Discourse is exeptionally diffictult to decrypt without it.In Narrative Discourse Revisited Genette looks at the criticisms which developed regarding his theories on the narrative. In order to answer them (and fortunate for the reader who had difficulties with his other essays) he goes back and explains simply and plainly his ideas, rather than heaping example upon example with a minimal of clear description of his own terms.This book will also be useful for those looking to poke holes in Genette's theories.
